<h2>Program behaviour: ignore</h2>

<h4>Syntax</h4>

<p><code>-ignore</code></p>
<p><code>-ig</code></p>


<h4>Description</h4>

<p>This will make Atomsk automatically ignore files that already exist. Most of the time it means it will not overwrite (nor prompt about) files that were already converted before.</p>

<p>If both <a href="./progbe_ow.html"><code>-overw</code></a> and <code>-ignore</code> are used, then the existing files are not overwritten but are ignored.</p>

<p>To make this change permanent, you may set up a <a href="./progbe_configfile.html">configuration file</a>.</p>



<h4>Default</h4>

<p>By default files that already exist are <em>not</em> ignored; instead the user is prompted whether to overwrite them or choose another name.</p>



<h4>Examples</h4>

<ul>
<li><code class="command">atomsk initial.gin cfg -ig</code>
<p>This will read <code>initial.gin</code> and convert it to CFG; but if <code>initial.cfg</code> already exists, the conversion will not be performed.</p></li>
</ul>
